Jan. 15 in spiralling waters; Angelo Custódio

Theory Stairs, 2:00-3:30 PM; moderator Menko Dijksterhuis

In a body~phobic world, monsters are too few to be truly dangerous. More dangerous are the ordinary hums of the common chorus. Its turbulent currents, of a dominant affect tone, echo in a collective shrug turned tidal wave. The vortex murmurs synchronised gestures of unquestioned movement. Unstable and theatrical, we exist as whirlpools, temporary bodies trembling with rupture and reverberation.

in spiralling waters invites the audience to drift into the depths, where listening becomes quantum.

Angelo Custódio (b. 1983, PT/NL) is a researcher, artist and performer experimenting with voice, writing and sound. He creates sonic based experiences from a crip~queer perspective, informed by critical theory and embodied knowledge. His work transverses poetics and techno-embodied ways of voicing while attuning the audience to different modes of listening.
